Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 13, 1915..

Application filed April 29', 1914:. Serial No. 835,194.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it lmown that ll, HARRY H. FnRRIs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Huntington Beach, in the county of Orange and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in SmokingFipes, of which the following is a specihcation, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes and an object thereof, is to provide a pipe in which the tobacco is supported in the bowl above the smoke passage which communicates with the stem, to prevent clogging of the passage.

Another object of this invention is the provision of a pipe in which a saliva cup is provided, the stem of the pipe being formed with two passages one of which communicates with the saliva cup and the other with the bowl of the pipe.

A still further object of this invention is to provide a pipe in which the bowl thereof is separable from the stem, the forward end of the stem having a saliva cupformed therein and a branch passage leading thereto, the bottom of the bowl covering the cup to prevent the tobacco in the bowl from becoming moistened by the saliva, whereby the smoke drawn into the stem from the bowl is dry and cool.

With these and other objects in view, my invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved pipe, showing the bowl and stem in section; Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the enlarged forward end of the stem; Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 33 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the bowl, showing the tobacco cup mounted therein.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates the stem of the pipe, to the inner end of which the mouth-piece 2 is detachably connected, the stem having the smoke passage 3 which communicates with the passage 4 in the mouthpiece. The stem is formed with a longitudinal branch passage 5 in its forward end, below the upwardly extending forward end of the passage 3., The passage 5 communicates at its rear end with the passage 3 and at its engaged in the opening 7 to provide a tight I joint between the bowl and the stem. The base of the extension 8 is disposed over the cup 6 to close the same, and an opening 10 is formed in the extension which registers with the forward end of the passage 3, whereby communication is established between the bowl and the stem.

Formed on the upper end of the bowl is a reduced exteriorly threaded extension 11, and mounted within the bowl is a tobacco cup 12, which has a backwardly directed flange 13, formed on its upper edge, the flange being interiorly threaded for engagement with the threaded extension 11, to detachably connect the cup to the bowl. As clearly shown in the drawing the base of the cup is provided with a plurality of draft openings 14, and is spaced above the opening 10 in the lower extension of the bowl to prevent the tobacco carried in the bowl from clogging the opening and impeding the draft of the pipe.

In using my improved pipe, the parts are connected in the hereinbefore described manner, and the desired quantity of tobacco is packed into the cup 12. As the openings 14 are formed in the base of the cup 12 at various points, the smoke is drawn through the tobacco so that the same burns evenly, the smoke passing through the opening 10, the passage 3, and the mouthpiece 2. It will be readily understood that any saliva which may pass through the stem 2 into the passage 3, will flow through the saliva passage 5 which is disposed below the forward end of the passage 3 and into the cup 6, where-v by the saliva is prevented from reaching the tobacco and dampening the same. The bowl 9 may be readily detached from the stem when it is desired to clean the saliva cup, and the passage in the stem.

Having thus fully described my invention what ll desire to claim, and secure by Letters Patent is A tobacco pipe comprising a stem having lldd stem, said extension having an opening therein which when the bowl is in operative position communicates with the smoke passage in the stem, and the base of the extension inclosing said saliva cup.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
